As the focus from the guild has shifted from playing one game to being active in multiple games at the same time, we are constantly on the lookout for new games to enjoy. A game that has shown up on our radar is Planetside 2.

Planetside 2 is the long awaited follow-up to the first Planetside game released in 2003.

 

Planetside 2 is, like Planetside 1, a 3 faction massive online shooter in a persistent world. Battles of 100 players raging for multiple hours and even days are the norm and not the exception. The goal is to capture as much facilities and land as possible and keeping your rivals from getting them back. To get a better feel for what the game actually entails you can watch Totalbiscuit explaining what Planetside 1 was in the following youtube clip: Planetside 2 - Just what is it all about, anyway?. He also has a lot gameplay footage of Planetside 2 in it's current alpha state.

 

Planetside 2 will be a free to play title which gives us all the chance to try it out. I'm already looking forward to day long battles and small guild teams going for a covert capture behind enemy lines. You can register for a chance for a beta invite at www.planetside2.com. Let's hope we are allowed to participate soon and explore this game

 

If you are a unguilded person and are looking to experience all that Planetside 2 has to offer together with cool people, why don't you apply?
